Edo State Police Command has officially invited the governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Olumide Akpata, over alleged violence that erupted between his followers and the students of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Ugbowo Campus last Friday.

The Public Relations Officer of the Edo State command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, revealed this in Benin.

Last week, Barrister Olumide Akpata attended an investiture ceremony at the invitation of the UNIBEN Staff Club, but the event turned out violent when the venue was invaded by some persons whom the Apkata campaign alleged were agents of the PDP-controlled State Government with the intention to assassinate him.

He said that the invitation was served on the LP guber flagbearer by investigators in the Political department of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at the Command Headquarters, Benin, on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.

SP Nwabuzor further explained that the invitation of Olumide Akpata was part of the investigation initiated into the crisis by the police Command.
